Become A Human In Another World
ACT 2: Chapter 22 - Apostle
"This is the 18th." I wiped away the traces of blood by swinging this dragon claw sword.
I was exterminating a new type of monster that reportedly appeared and attacked our residence. They were all weak to me, but were arguably at the same level as the lower Rank-B adventurers.
Oh yea. I haven't given this name to my dragon claw sword yet.
"Humm, I want to give him a suitable name so that it's easy to call him." I started thinking for a moment.
"Ahh, okay. Let me call it Drac! I'm not good at finding names." I nodded in satisfaction, because I thought I got a good name.
I put my sword back on, Drac back behind my back. Why don't I just use Zadkiel?
I saved the bullets I needed, because I don't know how many of these monsters roamed around.
Now, I have found 18 pieces, which are scattered apart. I can't track them if their place appears too far away.
Are there any new Dungeons born around here? Seems not. I first suspected that, it was just that the appearance of the monster was too separate.
If they walk from one place, then it is easy for me to follow the origin of that monster place.
And if I can trace the beginning of the existence of the Dungeon where this monster exists, it's possible that I can destroy that Dungeon.
But it's like they're coming from all over, with our home goals.
I'm not a detective, but I know it's intentional. If only, I could know when and where the monster appeared, maybe this would all be revealed.
"I think I should go deeper, huh?" I sighed, trying to calm myself down again.
With this kind of situation, I honestly became a little worried about leaving this place.
But as soon as I told Uncle Childe, he scolded me and said that he could handle it.
"Maybe I'm just overreacting, huh?"
?!
I felt a foreign movement appear around here!
I don't know what it is, but I feel an unpleasant change in this forest. I don't know how far it is, but obviously, it's not that far.
This feeling, this is even more unpleasant than the aura that the last dragon I fought released.
"It's true that disgusting aura. Looks like a dark magic user." I spoke slowly, preparing myself.
"[Herenity]!" I immediately tracked him down, was he really not a monster. But, was there anyone who could create such an aura? If there was any chance it was just a monster!
I saw a figure wearing a dark hood, covering his face. Even so, I know he smiled with satisfaction.
("What is it, man?!!") I was surprised to find no sign of an elf on her, and her body was perfect if I called her human. But, there was no way a human could give off such an aura, right?
A few seconds later, he looked surprised, then looked around.
("Heh? Can he feel this?!") I was only surprised when he arrived alert, and cast a strange spell. A black circle appeared next to him like torn air, and he slowly entered into it.
I have to quickly use the [Evaluator] on him!
("Tung-!") I could only shout inwardly, as he had already disappeared into that black space tear.
I took off my [Serenity], then sat quietly trying to analyze the situation.
"He even blocked my [Evaluator]. No it's possible for this skill to be blocked, isn't it?" I was confused when I saw him.
Not that it's blocked, but the data I can see is fucked up.
Yep. I've tried to see it using [Evaluator], but the results shown are surprising. It displays some data, and that's very little.
[Evaluator] I am the maximum skill among the other skills. So, I believe in his ability to peer into the abilities of others, even without the permission of the enemy.
But this is the first time my [Evaluator] has been messed up.
Part of his name was destroyed, like a few words separated here and there. Also the race even his Job, I can't see him because his gaze is blurred.
And I can only see that and the title.

Somewhere that is not disturbed by time and space....
"Ah, welcome back! How's he doing?" Someone, raised the cup in a soft voice, in particular it was the voice of a woman.
He brought one more cup for the breathless young man to fall to his knees nearby.
It was clear that the young man was running out of energy, either because he was doing something heavy.
"You're amazing, senior. You can do everything well, even have time to prepare this. Is there no problem when running errands?" The young man stood up, receiving the cup.
Even so, he was still trying to calm himself down. There were probably some parts within him that were still shocked.
"Aahaha! I just happened to get the easy part. Besides, it looks like this is going to be something for quite a while. Better just enjoy." He sipped his tea with a smile.
A sweet smile. Because indeed the woman was very beautiful, and if she smiled, it would add a sweet impression to her.
But an experienced person knows, it's just a smile that will lead you to destruction.
The young man was a bit confused, but he looked like he wanted to say something.
"What do you enjoy about all this, senior?" The young man took a seat nearby, and went to enjoy his tea.
"Heh. You always lie to yourself. Ask yourself." The woman is still smiling.
"Ask? On myself?"
"Yes! Know it? Seeing the faces of people suffering, seeing them despairing, seeing their hopes crushed, wasn't that incredible? I'm happy and enjoying this job, you know!" He said, smiling back.
Even so what he said was not something that could be said to be easy with a smile just like that.
"Ahh, your taste is a bit less I can understand ya, senior. But..." The young man could not continue his tone of speech.
He thought about the incident just now, where someone had managed to track him down. He was startled because of that, and ended up being hurriedly rushed back into that space, causing some of his energy to be drained.
"Why? Is there a problem with your job?" The woman asked in a worried tone.
"Yes. I have a little problem."
The woman in front of him started to turn serious.
"If it's not wrong, you take care of one of the small requests from the members, right? As I recall, his name is the city of Eldergale! Yep! You took care of that part, didn't you?" Ask while remembering.
"Yes. I felt useless because I got into trouble just from a small job. I feel unworthy to be one of the members of the [Ten Apostle of Demon God]." The junior now lowered his head, with many difficult expressions on his face.
"It's not so! You must be in a difficult time because this is your first task. Besides, you can tell me if there's a problem." The lady there kept entertaining her juniors.
"Ah, okay."
"I felt like I was being watched by someone. When I started doing chores, it was like someone was tracking me from a distance."
"I was surprised to escape immediately." The junior lowered his head.
Back again, the "Senior" woman paid more attention to her Junior story.
"So, who's the "person" that's bothering you?"
"sorry. I don't know. Only, if there was such an capable person, then he should be the focus of the cult, as it might be troublesome later on. And it could be, he's foiling my plan." The junior raised his cup again, and drank some tea.
"Ah, that's an easy thing. Let's see if your plan works, we don't have to think about it, but if your plan can be foiled, maybe we'll figure it out." The woman arranged some snacks on the table.
"And I'm sure your plan will work smoothly." He took and ate one.
"Even if it fails, I'll teach him something about pleasure!" And now she was smiling, not a sweet smile but a sadistic smile on her face.
The junior nodded, seemingly already understanding what his senior was telling him.
"I just need to destroy the city, right? To hell with the task, I will report that there is a powerful enemy there!"
